At Laser & Skin Belfast, we use advanced medical SkinPen microneedling to not only rejuvenate skin but also to stimulate natural hair growth. If you’re noticing thinning, shedding, or reduced hair density, microneedling can help awaken dormant follicles and restore thicker, healthier hair — all without surgery or medication.
How Microneedling Stimulates Hair Growth
Microneedling works by creating thousands of tiny microchannels in the scalp using the SkinPen device. These controlled micro-injuries trigger the body’s natural healing response, releasing growth factors and stimulating stem cells in the hair follicles.
This process helps to:
Increase blood flow and oxygen to the follicles
Activate fibroblasts and stem cells responsible for hair regeneration
Boost collagen production around each follicle for a stronger support structure
Enhance absorption of growth serums, PRP, exosomes, or polynucleotides applied during or after treatment
Over time, this creates a healthier scalp environment where existing follicles can grow thicker, stronger hairs.
What Causes Hair Thinning?
Hair loss can occur for many reasons, including genetics, hormonal changes, stress, or inflammation in the scalp. Microneedling is suitable for both men and women experiencing early-to-moderate thinning or shedding and can complement other treatments or products such as PRP, exosome therapy, or prescription topicals.
It is particularly effective for:
Androgenetic alopecia (pattern hair loss)
Postpartum hair loss
Telogen effluvium (stress-related shedding)
Scalp inflammation or poor circulation
What to Expect During Treatment
A fine needle cartridge is used to gently stamp the scalp with precise depth and speed using the SkinPen device. You may feel mild tingling or pressure, but the treatment is generally very comfortable. After treatment, a specialist serum, PRP, or exosome solution may be applied to further boost growth and healing.
Treatment time: 30–45 minutes
Downtime: Minimal – mild redness for 24 hours
Recommended course: 4–6 sessions spaced every 2–4 weeks, followed by maintenance every few months
Results You Can Expect
Most clients notice:
Reduced shedding after 1–2 sessions
Improved scalp health and density after 8–12 weeks
Visible new growth and thicker strands over 3–6 months
Consistency is key — results continue to improve as collagen and follicle activity increase over time.
Combining Microneedling with Other Therapies
For optimal results, microneedling can be combined with:
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma): Delivers concentrated growth factors directly into the scalp.
Exosome Therapy: Harnesses regenerative cell-signalling technology for advanced follicle repair.
Polynucleotides: Improve tissue repair, hydration, and scalp vitality.
Together, these treatments boost results by targeting multiple layers of scalp rejuvenation and hair follicle repair.
